Metro also liked the idea of teaming up for an album. "I was born in ’93, and a lot of projects [from that era] had one producer, maybe two," he shared. "They sounded more cohesive — better as a whole."

The two are also not strangers to teaming up with other artists for full projects. Metro Boomin has previously teamed up with Nav for their Perfect Timingproject and also dropped Without Warningwith 21 Savage and Offset. As for Big Sean, he previously linked up with girlfriend Jhene Aiko for the album Twenty88.
